US shifts support to new Syrian government, leading to SDF collapse

The United States has shifted its support from the Syrian Democratic Forces to the new Syrian government, leading to the SDF's collapse and the government's seizure of control. The Kurdish-led SDF, a key US ally against ISIS, is retreating as Syrian government forces occupy northeastern Syria. This marks a significant turning point in Syria's post-Assad political transition. This US pivot benefits the new Syrian government and Turkey, while many in the SDF feel betrayed after years of fighting alongside the US.
